Abstract

Since the observation of entangled photon generation via a biexciton from a CuCl bulk crystal [1], entangled photon generation mediated by the biexciton has been extensively studied. Recently, the biexciton of a CuCl thin film in a microcavity was observed, whose radiative decay was two-times faster than that in the absence of the cavity (the Purcell effect of a biexciton) [2]. In this paper, we theoretically study the conditions of entangled photon generation from the planar CuCl microcavity.
